Description;

The nose is fresh but also a little creamy, blending biscuit, green apple, (white) currant and gooseberry. On the tongue freshness continues as a main theme, in an elegant and light way that is not without a certain depth. There is a light touch of yeast, adding just the right amount of creamy, and fresh citrus notes that come out nicely in a long, tingly finish with a mineral end.
